Doll's Folklore 3

Despite being kinda fun to read, this manga is a pain in the ass to translate. I guess this mostly stems from me doing mostly slice of life or light action manga. Oh well, Volume two is pretty awesome though so I want to try and get through one ASAP.



???: Don't worry...I won't kill you.

People: Agiggigigigiiiiaaaa

Kugiiii

???: Because if I kill you then it really would be the end...

And that would be boring wouldn't it?

002

Makina: Right?

Yo-chan...?

Chapter 3: Flowers of the dead.

003

Yousuke: All right, I'm going now..

Grandma.

Grandma: Wait right there!!

Yousukeee!!

(Bubble- Eel)

Grandma: At least if you're going out, take something to eat!

(Bubble- Eel)

Grandma: What are you talking about you're 'going now'?!

Yousuke: But Grandma, If for once you were going to make something edible, I'd actually take it with me.

(Bubble- Eel)

004

Grandma: Hm? You didn't take the purifying salt with you...

Yousuke: Huh?

Grandma: There's a reason why I tell you to take this too..

So make sure you have it.

Yousuke: Do I really need this?

Okay! Well I'm outta here!!

(Sfx- Pishaan sppish)

Grandma: Ah! Wait a moment Yousuke!!

005

Yousuke: This bruise..

Is it just me or is it getting wider?

At this rate...

Grandma's going to see it before long...

Though I really wonder...

Can other humans 'see' this bruise...?

Though it sorta seemed like Grandma could sense something..

Geez, this is getting annoying..

006

Monster: COULD I HAVE A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT BRUIS?!

007

Kanno: I'll give them credit for one thing..

These bastards are real persistent, and you sure get mixed up with them often!

008

{This again......}

009

{This is...}

(Sfx- Gotoh throb)

{What is it? These mochi like thingies...}
{Or are they something else...?}

(Sfx- Gototo gototo throob throob)

010

(Sfx- Gotto gotton throb throb)

(Sxf- Bikuhh throoob)

(Sfx- Gotogotto Thrrob throob)

Kanno: Oh? Finally awake huh?

Then I guess I can ask you about your extended fare sitting there?

Yousuke: Wha..

Whhhhhyyy?!

Kanno: Wow, he's fast.

011

Natsume: Sit down quietly you little brat.

I might be a little tweaked, but my driving is still second to none.

(Sfx- Kuii graab)

Yousuke: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING OOOOON!?

(Sfx- Fun fun twich twich)

Kanno: SHUT THE HELL UP!! IT'S GOT THINGS HANDLED SO STAY STILL IDIOT!!

Shut it!

???: There's no need to fly off the handle, Kanno-kun.

It's your fault for dragging him along by force isn't it?

012

???: My name is..

Adachigahara Saburou.

Like Kanno-kun, I'm a part of the Misaki agency.
I apologize for my partner's rudeness.

Oyamada Yousuke-kun.

013

Saburou: I will be participating in the anti Makina battalion myself this time around.

We want to suppress Makina as soon as possible..

You are the key to this battle plan, and as such I've asked Kanno-kun to protect you.

Kanno: Correction, Uncle asked me to protect him. I wouldn't do a damn thing for you, friggin' siscon.

Saburou: Yes yes. Thank you very much Kanno-kun.

By the way..

Your torcher was the manifestation that was able to release Makina's seal, am I right?

I've heard this before....but it seems it acted as the sacrifice that was necessary to free her...

Yousuke: Sa—sacri..?

Saburou: Well...it's fine. You'll soon understand.

014

Yousuke: You say you're protecting me, but isn't this more like a kidnapping?

Saburou: Hup..

Yousuke: What could you people possibly need me fore?!

Kanno: Because of you all this terrible shit's been going down..

Do you know how many victims have turned up 'cause of you?

Saburou: Kanno-kun, you haven't explained anything to him have you?

I'm pretty sure I sent an e-mail to you to explain everything to him?

I think it's about time we started explaining things to him so he can understand..

(Sfx- Pusuhh spiiit)

Saburou: Hello? Tachibana-san? This is Adachigahara....

Kanno: HEY!!
015

Kanno: Who sez you gotta report every little thing to Uncle?!

Actin all big and bad....remember six months ago you could barely digest your food, dammit!

Saburou: Maybe you'd like to talk about how you were nearly in tears after the hole to her space closed up?

Kanno: I..I wasn't in tears dammit!!

Saburou: No I'm sure you were.

I saw it.

I even took a picture.

Kanno: Guh..

016

Scary thing: Heeey....I'm not gonna hurt you..

So come over here...

Yousuke: Oooh....

017

(Sfx- Dookaaah thuud)

Kanno: I already sniffed you out!!

And on top of that, yer tellin' some pretty shitty lies!!

Yousuke: Kanno?!

018

Kanno: Chasin' after dude's asses are we...?

Are you some kinda (beep)? Ya (beep)? Bastard?!

019

Kanno: Oh my~

Don't be silly~

Oh my...not there~

Yousuke: Kanno?

Uwah!!

Saburou: No need to worry, they can't enter here.

020

Yousuke: The bruise..

It's getting wider..

(Sfx- Gigi griiind)

Saburou: Over these last few months...the cases related to Makina have increased.

(Sfx- Gigi gigi grriiind)

Saburou: These victims fear of Makina seems to be giving her powers a boost.

We think your marking is also supplementing her power.

It's the reason why huge dolls such have these are being summoned...

Guh!

(Sfx- Doyuuh wifft)

(Sfx- Uwawa wiffted)

021

Kanno: Hey! Don't forget you're just a sheet of paper! Don't get cocky Natsume!

Natsume: Just leave it to paper~

Yosuke: Just what IS Makina...?

Is she really that bad of a person..er..doll?

I don't get that vibe from her..

Saburou: You're the sole witness of the Hamilin incident huh...

I get the idea that you and Makina have some sort of 'bond' perhaps...

Makina and the 108 children that all disappeared during the incident's period...
Might have a cause and effect relationship...

Is that what you want to know more about?

022

Saburou: Uwah!

Yousuke: Tell me!!

What happened to the children that disappeared back then!!

Saburou: Makina has a certain fundamental difference from the other dolls.

That's because of a certain existing 'personality' that was brought into being.

023

{That personality carried off those 108 children into a huge box and locked them away.}

{And until there was only one left they were forced to kill each other.}

{That last child was driven insane by the whole ordeal, and those 'feelings' gave birth to a doll...}

024

Saburou: And that is Makina.

025

Kanno: What? Is that it?

'Cmon, to get all tired during the foreplay....

We were gonna (beep) from here on in weren't we?

It's nice you came out to play, but now I'm sendin ya back to where ya came!

Soku seshuuwah

Giya tei gya te hara gyatei hara sougya tei

haji sowaka...

026

{Torcher...!!}

027
{Panchasu kanda}

028

Yousuke: Why?!

Why would someone do such a...

Saburou: That is...

Not something you have the privilege of knowing...

But I will tell you one other thing..

The one who brought Makina and those things into existence...

029

{Is not an existence...}

{We can ever forgive...}

030

Kanno: And that's all folks~ See ya.

Saburou: That marking on you guarantees that Makina will come for you.

We want to make use of this characteristic...

With this we can gain leverage over Makina....

Yousuke: I don't get it....

031

Yousuke: In order for Makina to be born, that girl had to die...

And that's why we have to defeat Makina....and you just expect me to believe that?!

What am I supposed to do?! Even if you tell me this I...

(Sfx- Dosuun thuuud)

Yousuke: UGNH!

Saburou: Wow.

Yousuke: Owww..
Kanno: Geez. You do understand that if that marking doesn't disappear you're gonna die right?

So then you gotta defeat Makina.

That's all there is to it!

032

Kanno: Rather than worrying about other people, try to think of yourself!

Yousuke: Kanno...

Kanno: Ya idjit!!

So lets get this party started!!

The absolutely mess the ever loving (beeep) of (beep) Makina-tan battle plan!!
